  Just got back from a wonderful visit to this condo with a party of 5. Usually stay at the Anchorage nearby but decided to to try the Elysian for a change. Very happy we did! This unit was large, comfortable, the views were great, the furnishings were nice, and each unit has it's own balcony. We enjoyed the fact that this unit has it's own floor in the building, no other units next to it, felt more private that way. It was quite nice to come back to every day after a long day in the sun. The grounds of the Elysian were much nicer than we expected, and noticeably nicer than the Anchorage. The beach was clean, large, water beautiful, and lots of fun activitities to do on site. When we stayed local (as opposed to going to St. John or the BVI) we kayaked around the bay, including over to Christmas Island for snorkeling, which was even better than the snorkeling just off the beach to the left. Pool is really nice as well. The owners were also great to deal with. We'll be back for sure!

  Paul and Pat were excellent in communicating with us. Paul was always ready to answer any questions I might have and was very honest with his answers. Pat arranged our airport transfers and gave us great suggestions about excursions. The condo had a beautiful view of Cowpet Bay and was very nicely appointed inside. It was a perfect size for 4 women. The beds were very comfortable and we had more than enough room renting all 3 rooms. We had everything we needed especially in the kitchen. We loved its proximity to red hook where we took advantage of the ferry to St. John and sapphire marina. The pool and hot tub are fabulous. Stacy at the activities hut was a joy and helped us out a lot. The hamburgers at the beachside bar/ restaurant were excellent. The other higher end restaurant was nice to have within walking distance but we felt it overpriced for the value. Go next door to the Ritz. Our only complaint was the bay was small and you don't have a view of all the other islands across from st. Thomas. However, for the money, the condo was great!

  My daughter and I have been visiting St. Thomas for 8 years now and we've stayed at several different condo resorts. This one is our favorite! It's conveniently located, close to Red Hook and the ferries and still easy to get into town. The beach is beautiful with plenty of lounge chairs. The pool is lovely as well. This condo felt like home. It's nicely decorated and very comfortable. Every convenience we needed was there, and more! Everything, inside the condo and throughout the resort, was well-maintained. We'll be staying here next year!

  We loved our stay in St. Thomas. The condo was perfect in every way. It is very accurately portrayed in the VRBO listing. It is the perfect home base for a St. Thomas vacation. Easily accessible to restaurants (2 really good ones right on the property), the ferry to St. John, grocery stores, shopping. The unit is in really good shape and perfectly maintained. The grounds are impeccable. The beach was very nice with a rental shop on the premises for excursions, rentals. The pool was beautiful. The beach chairs were very available and comfortable. The palm trees provided a nice natural shading but there was plenty of sunny area too. The snorkeling was good right off the beach. The condo itself was very comfortable and spacious. The owner provided coolers, lawn chairs, and snorkel equipment for excursions. This made the trip very convenient. The landlord is a great source of information. I felt like I knew the island before I got there! We would definitely like to do it again in the future! I would recommend this property to a friend of relative. Recommendations: Havanna Blue, Coral World, Gladdy's, trip to St. John, restaurants on the property

  We have stayed at this home twice and both experiences have been wonderful. The home is well equipped, the location is excellent, you can swim in the bay right at the condo and the best part is the owner. He is very responsive and communicates promptly.

  Everthing was just exactly as promised. You did not want for anything in the units. My only problem I had the entire week was that it rained all day on a couple days but you cannot help that.

  This resort is top notch with a great pool and superb restaurant called the Carribean Fish Market. It is very well located and has all the amenities of a big resort but a much more peaceful but still fun atmosphere! The condo itself is very nice, extremely clean and had lots of space for our family. The owner was terrific to work with, really pays attention to details and is very trustworthy. This was the first time we rented a condo on line and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!

  We loved Cowpet beach - quiet, calming, warm waters, not crowded. As promised, the snorkeling was pretty good - seemed to be hundreds of fish and plants in a relatively small area. Elysian staff was polite, friendly, and helpful -- especially the folks at the Carribean Fish Restaurant and Sangrias - don't miss out on "Michael's Confusion" or Buck's (aka "Mr. Livin da Life") friendly service and conversation. Good food, good drinks, very relaxing. The condo was immaculate, and when we had a minor problem, the Property Mgmt Staff was prompt, attentive, and helpful. No doubt, when we go back, this where we will stay.

  There are no words to describe what a wonderful time we had on vacation. The condo was perfect! We ended up having dinner at The Cellar in Red Hook. It was fabulous. We spent a lot of time on the different beaches and I think we hit them all. We did 3 different charter trips and I think the most fun may have been when we rented a dinghy in St John and snorkeled the different spots around there. We made good use of your snorkel equipment! Thanks for having that stuff available. We walked over to the Yacht Club for the annual Rolex regatta party one night. What a blast!! Thank you for all your tips & info. It was a pleasure working with you! We will definitely stay here again if we return to St. Thomas!
